Oxidation and heat aging in plastics frequently cause a chain reaction that forms free radicals, breaks up the long polymer chains and degrades the appearance and performance of the plastic. At every stage of the plastic life cycle, from manufacturing through processing and end use, Cesa Nox antioxidant masterbatches help maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking and odors.
